A Farewell Dinner

It has been a while since the last Hog Blog, so to farewell two of Ms_Zane's staff [Kaye and Adele] we went to Hoggies at Logan Hyperdome...
A VERY WELL STOCKED BARStarting at the bar we had the usual beverages...
A RAZOR BACK
Yes the pig is real, shot and stuffed, these feral pigs [AKA the Razor Back] make a great trophy at the bar at Hog's Breath Cafes...
MARK'S DINNER
I was actually really impressed with my dinner. Mine is a bit of a hybrid - mostly El Grandee with some Hickory on the side. Whilst I find the quality of the food to be very high, this was actually one of the better steaks I have had at Hog's Breath Cafe...
MS_ZANE'S DINNER
An El Grandee with baked potato and salad. Mz_Zane did ask for everything on the side, but just look at that, the sour cream is ON the potato. When [if ever] will they get it right?

A WHINE ABOUT WINE
I really want to know where [or who] in Australia said that red wine should be consumed at "room temperature". Given that it was cold last night made the red at least palatable, but normally I would have asked for an ice bucket. I understand in Europe [where it is actually cold] that red wine is consumed at room temp, but we don't live in Europe!!!

Overall a pleasant evening and then off to the cinema to watch SHREK THE THIRD...
